Lesson Details
Key learning points
- A letter may include questions which you have to reply to.
- Expanded noun phrases can help someone to imagine something or somewhere.
- When using two adjectives, a comma is placed in between them, such as 'fun, adventurous places'.
- Adverbs can add detail to how someone does something.
- Writing in the first person uses words such as 'I', 'we' or 'mine'.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to generate vocabulary about places or people.
Refer back to the previous lessons in the unit where you have generated vocabulary and consider how you could use the vocabulary to describe your own experiences. Model the process of going back through the previous lesson's writing and word banks.
